Prototyping future societies: GIGA-mapping and narratives as design material.

In Norway, the housing challenges faced by migrant workers highlight increasing inequality. Designers striving to create more equitable and sustainable futures must adopt system-oriented tools and human-centered approaches. Utilizing giga-mapping and narratives as prototypes helps reframe issues, enhance communication, and simplify complexity into actionable steps. However, successful outcomes demand refined application and careful attention to communication, necessitating significant investment of time, skills, and effort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
